Some of these projects are just dormant seeds I squirrel away for decades at a time. Others blossom more quickly &#8230; and some stall.<\/p>\n<p>The devotional cabinet and crucifix lay in hibernation for almost a year.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Catching the eye of a friend of mine during one of our summer parties, I find myself reassessing the situation as I explain it. At this rate, I am never going to finish the damned thing. Should I just forget about the arched top of the frame?<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the year, I\u2019d toyed with the idea of sending a piece of the wood with the pattern drawn on it to my brother, who happens to own a band saw but, again, couldn&#8217;t bring myself to have someone else create such an integral part of my piece.<\/p>\n<p>I cogitate on it in the background for about a month after the party, then decide to attempt the arch one more time. If it doesn&#8217;t work this time, I&#8217;ll just forget the whole thing and move on with my rectangular frame.<\/p>\n<p>This time I take my brother\u2019s advice more seriously and, after sketching out my pattern a touch larger than I need,  I make numerous cuts at right angles into the cut line; each no more than two inches from the next. Now if the blade begins to wander on the side I cannot see, it only gets a chance to do so for a very small section of the cut.<\/p>\n<p>And it bloody well works! I pop a sanding roll onto my Dremel (another Christmas present &#8211; thank you, babe!) and pull the shape I need from my rough. Voila.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/oldBoxFrame.jpg\" title=\"original cabinet frame with replacements\" rel=\"crosspurposes\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/oldBoxFrame.jpg\" alt=\"Cross Purposes - original cabinet frame with replacements\" width=\"180\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-7331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/oldBoxFrame.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/oldBoxFrame-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/oldBoxFrame-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/><\/a>The only problem I see is that I didn&#8217;t leave enough on the ends of my arch piece to lock into the existing frame &#8211; I need to remake the sides of the devotional cabinet frame &#8230; and I\u2019m out of 1\u201d x 2\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The wood I used for the arch &#8211; pine 2\u201d x 6\u201d, is different from the wood of my original, square frame, anyway, so I fabricate my own 1\u201d x 2\u201d lengths from the same piece of 2\u201d x 6\u201d I pulled my arch from, hoping the pieces will look of a kind with my arch both in grain and in origination. It\u2019s a little discarding all but one piece of the original frame: the grain is more beautiful than that of the 2\u201d x 6\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>I peg my new frame together and then affix it to my cabinet\u2019s back. Holy crap &#8211; I&#8217;ve done it! It looks great &#8211; primitive; clearly done by eye and hand rather than the perfection of machines (despite their rather large role in producing what is before me).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cabWIthArch.jpg\"  title=\"the new arch-top frame\" rel=\"crosspurposes\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cabWIthArch.jpg\" alt=\"Cross Purposes - the new arch-top frame for my devotional cabinet\" width=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cabWIthArch.jpg 960w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cabWIthArch-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cabWIthArch-150x111.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now all that remains is the hinge question.<\/p>\n<p>I return to my saved searches from the prior year and end up in the same quandary: nothing looks right. Barrel hinges could be cool, decorative hinges could be cool, H hinges could be cool. I pour over as many sites selling hinges,  images of antiquated hinges, and sites talking about the history of hinges as I can find, yet remain unsure. So many *could* work but I&#8217;m peering at them virtually. Call me old fashioned but I need to see the darned things in meat-space.<\/p>\n<p>It occurs to me to try the wooden hinges again &#8211; the idea is so appealing and, hey, I made the arched top, didn&#8217;t I? One small pile of scrap wood later, I go back to looking at hinges on the internet.<\/p>\n<p>My wife convinces me to poke around in hardware stores despite what I already know. Home Depot\u2019s selection sucks as usual. How can so large a space be so completely crammed with so little? I can\u2019t figure it out. Another, smaller, locally owned store has a far better selection but I still draw a blank.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ogHinge.png\" title=\"the hinge pre-Corey\" rel=\"crosspurposes\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ogHinge.png\" alt=\"Cross Purposes - the hinge, pre-Corey\" width=\"180\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-7350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ogHinge.png 315w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ogHinge-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ogHinge-150x88.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 315px) 100vw, 315px\" \/><\/a>My wife mentions the vintage hardware store in Port Townsend, so we head down and poke around there. I see plenty of neat stuff but still nothing I am after: It\u2019s all too Victorian and pricey. We try the recycled hardware place and, finally, my favorite hardware store in the area. Henery Hardware contains the best non-virtual hinge selection I&#8217;ve yet seen. They still don\u2019t have what I think I want but, after some much needed prodding from my wife, I grab a set of decorative, brass, butterfly hinges: let&#8217;s see what I can do with them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/moddingHinges.jpg\" title=\"Modifying the store bought hinges\" rel=\"crosspurposes\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/moddingHinges.jpg\" class=\"alignleft\" width=\"100\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Cross Purposes - Modifying the store bought hinges for my devotional cabinet\" \/><\/a>They\u2019re going to need to be curved to fit the doors &#8211; can I do that or will they break? I clamp them onto a metal base and give them a whack or two with the ol&#8217; ball peen. They form nicely, spreading as I go, the ugly uniformity of the factory finish improving with every blow.<\/p>\n<p>I fit them to the cabinet as I go, tweaking here and there. The face of the door, along the edge of the routing, needs to be notched in four places to accommodate the outermost tip of each hinge. I could have inset them into the inside face of the doors but I really liked the idea of them being external.<\/p>\n<p>Before I know it I have my four hinges, each tailor-made to a specific corner of the piece. I carefully screw them in place with a variety of standard slot screws &#8211; my most hated yet, seemingly, the appropriate screw-head type for this piece. When I am done the cabinet sits there looking great.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hinges.jpg\" title=\"The cabinet with hinges - finally!\" rel=\"crosspurposes\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hinges.jpg\"class=\"alignright\" width=\"180\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Cross Purposes - The cabinet with hinges - finally!\" \/><\/a>Now &#8211; how can I fix the naked brass of the hinges? The bulk of my hinge hunting had centered on iron as a material because the last thing I want on this piece is some bright and cheery, decorative yellow metal, which I have presently attained.<\/p>\n<p>My experience as a <a href=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/2013\/05\/27\/lost-and-foundry-pt-2i-patineur\/\">patineur<\/a> has me wondering if I can\u2019t do some kind of a cold patina on the things. What can I use to corrode &#8211; or faux-corrode &#8211; brass?<\/p>\n<p>I look it up and there aren&#8217;t a ton of options &#8211; brass isn&#8217;t supposed to corrode. I read about pre-packaged, corrosive compounds and clear ammonia but my impatience and education has me wracking my brain &#8211; isn&#8217;t there *anything* I have in my house that will do it?<\/p>\n<p>Someone on a forum mentions vinegar and that clicks with me: of course! It occurs to me that I have some of my old patina chemicals lying around, too &#8211; specifically liver of sulfur. Ooooh!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/vinegarPotash.jpg\" title=\"I just happened to grab Balsamic.

I place the hinge in a jar, being careful to keep my finger oils off of it, and dump in enough red wine vinegar to cover, then drop in a crumb or two of the potash. The latter bubbles in the vinegar and produces a brownish-grey murk. The air fills with the scent of rotten eggs. Excellent. Outside the garage I hear my wife exclaim: \u201cWhat is that AWFUL smell?!?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/boxOnBack.jpg\" title=\"A good look at the patina on the cabinet's hinges\" rel=\"crosspurposes\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/boxOnBack.jpg\" alt=\"Cross Purposes - A good look at the patina on the cabinet's hinges\" width=\"180\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-7270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/boxOnBack.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/boxOnBack-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/boxOnBack-150x79.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/><\/a>I let the hinges sit in this for around three hours or more, until the last of the brass shine is obscured by a dark mottling and patches of black. I am concerned the patina may be too fragile, however, and a bit of it wipes away as I am waxing on a protective finish as if to verify my unspoken fear. A little bit of flaking and variance is okay, though, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>We shall see.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/boxFromSide.jpg\" title=\"The cabinet from the side\" rel=\"crosspurposes\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/boxFromSide.jpg\" alt=\"Cross Purposes - The cabinet from the side\" width=\"100\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/boxFromSide.jpg 811w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/boxFromSide-241x300.jpg 241w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/boxFromSide-120x150.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 811px) 100vw, 811px\" \/><\/a>With my hinges ready, my arched frame in place, it is time for one more round of stain\/abuse\/sand\/stain.

I want the coverage to be uneven and light. Once I have achieved a look I like, I decide to seal the wood with wax.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasteWax.jpg\" title=\"Johnson's Paste Wax for the finish\" rel=\"crosspurposes\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasteWax.jpg\" alt=\"Cross Purposes - Johnson's Paste Wax for the finish\" width=\"180\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-7333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasteWax.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasteWax-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasteWax-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/><\/a>I used paste wax quite a bit to finish bronze and in this project, on the hinges, but have never tried it on wood.

The hinges could use some work and I find myself considering hot patina for a darker, firmer look of age. I wonder about a latch of some kind for the doors, even though it will probably *never* be engaged. The finish is a bit too even, too pretty for the look I was after and I find myself wishing I had a desert I could dump it in for a month or two. Worst of all, I can see hints of powertool-work here and there in the finish.
